Racine, WI --(Ammoland.com)- Saturday night at approximately 7:30 pm 5 Wisconsin Carry members were peaceably dining at a Culvers in Madison.

8 Madison Police officers arrived and demanded ID from our members. As Wisconsin is not a police-state, Wisconsin law does not require you to provide identification to an officer unless you are operating a motor vehicle.

2 Wisconsin Carry members, in consideration of their legal rights politely declined to provide ID and were handcuffed, detained, and issued citations for obstruction.

Wisconsin Case-Law clearly states that refusing to give your name is not grounds for obstruction.

“No law allows officers to arrest for obstruction on a person’s refusal to give his or her name. Mere silence is insufficient to constitute obstruction.” Henes v. Morrissey,194 Wis. 2d 339, 533 N.W.2d 802 (1995).

Wisconsin Carry has previously filed suit and won a judgment against the Racine Police Department on January 8th 2010 for unlawfully arresting one of our members, Frank Hannon-Rock on obstruction charges for refusing to provide ID.

Alaska law says like the Constitution that you dont need a permit to keep and bear arms concealed or not. That is the law, all other gun control laws are unconstituional as the Supreme court has ruled several times in the past that an unconstitutional law is null and void and can not be inforced. These Police Officers should be immediatly fired and prosecuted for false arrest which in most states is a felony
